Guided Tour of Nairobi Museum Snake Park

National Museums of Kenya

The Nairobi Snake Park was started in January, 1961 to meet a popular attraction and to provide a research facility on reptiles, and breeding of snakes.

It serves as rescue and rehabilitation centre for reptiles (abandoned, confiscated or legally or illegally collected), as well as dissemination of information to the public. Located at a serene environment with a spacious compound, the Snake Park is an ideal place for relaxation by visitors to enjoy the cool breeze.

Join us and get a rare opportunity to, handle non venomous juvenile pythons, house snakes and tortoise (hatchlings), with the help of a snake expert.

We will also have a guided tour of the snake park and aquarium, and get a chance to learn on how to handle various snakes when you encounter one.

Easter Safari – Meru National Park, 30 March – 2 April 2018

Date: Friday, March 30- Monday, April 2

Join us for a Easter weekend trip to the least visited Kenyan National Parks- Meru. Blessed with fourteen rivers, Meru National Park is part of a huge protected wilderness of over 6,000 sq km. It has rivers, grasslands, riverine forests with giant raffia palms, wetlands, and kopjes. Lying below 1,000 metres, Meru is pleasantly hot. The park has plenty of game, including the northern species of Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe.

Enroute to Meru we pass through the beautiful Nyambeni Hills. From here you get a bird’s eye view of the plains east of Isiolo. George and Joy Adamson spent several years in Meru and Kora National Parks. Elsa, the lioness, was released in Meru and her grave along with that of Pippa the leopard are also in Meru. Apart from game viewing, activities will include visiting the Elsa’s illusive grave if we can find it!

A KMS safari is not a safari without a challenge.
